You sure that wasn't the Beatles' version of 'Yesterday'?

I remember it was just instrumental.

You can holler out a window and tell people to be quiet. There are some advantages. Like what do I care what rude people think about me?

Your favorite college jam plays regularly on the Oldies station.

...you get out of bed, forget why and have to wake your wife up to ask her whether you're supposed to be getting up or going to bed.

I saw that on a birthday card...

Garrison Keillor, in his radio monologues likes to talk about Minnesota bachelor farmers and their sometimes strange behaviors. Some of those behaviors don't seem so strange to me anymore. Without a woman in the house to keep you on a more conventional course, it is easy to go slightly adrift.

But Doug, do you still lock the bathroom door?

The door to my bathroom is 100 years old and doesn't lock anymore. In fact, the door likes to pop open, much to the distress of any of my house guests.
Congratulations, Martin. I see that you now have someone to keep you on the straight and narrow path

I don't know if any crossword puzzle workers are out there, but I just recently starting doing a few out of the paper and I can just barely make out those little teeny numbers. 3's and 5's and 6's and 8's all look the same!! I'm always writing an answer down in the wrong set of spaces and then going back and wondering what the heck I could have been thinking.
